Notes
Many items from this collection were bought new during the 1960?s, after enquiring in toyshops for old, unsold shop stock.
This eye-catching classic American car is in original condition finished in bright sky blue, with a white roof and side flashes, silver trim, spun wheels, black tyres, matt baseplate correct with no number printed.
Occasional little pin prick mark may be seen at some exposed edges.One stray dab of (factory) silver on one side near the front bumper.
Issued at the end of the production run( 1959-63), this rare variation is correctly presented in the late issue paler yellow picture box. Really crisp and clean with day-one vivid colours. Resistant end flaps show that this box has been opened a few times ever. Two-tone blue colour spot is shown (no blue and white colour spot was printed ).
One top edge crumple and a residue from a price label one one end flap.
